On Minds if you want to actually be seen by anyone, you have to use their "tokens" to boost your posts.
While you can get the tokens for free just by being a member, there's also the option to buy their tokens.
So it seems to me that they're keeping their engagement levels artificially low in order to make more money from their users.

I made an account there like 2 years ago and forgot to ever go back.

Yep, everyone there is just talking to a void, and no one responds, like most social.media.

Haven't had a ton of time to check it out honestly.

What minds needs to do is focus on social grouping, like facebook does (which contrary to what people claim, is thriving). People like to consume content more than create it, which means minds is focused on the wrong user actions.

If I were running minds I'd be using a combination of hand selection, and algorithm to sell or distribute content to various outlets around the net, and use something like disqus for comments (building a corporate alliance). This gets them 1. views outside their own network, 2. opens up avenues to working with or being acquired by other companies, 3. lets them better fulfill their half of the obligation created by someone using a 'boosted' token.

They have content, they lack the viewers/users. Lots of sites have the users/viewers, but lack cheap content. 'Awareness is the new currency' is a phrase frequently used by vapid cunts, but in this case is true.

It alright. I don't engage there a lot anymore. Hoping they'll federate soon like they say they're gonna.

I have experienced censorship from their news groups, so I avoid it, now.

I will cut and paste my other stuff over there, but I won't put any time into it, anymore.

A mind is a terrible thing.

It's jew owned. I didn't look any further.

It's formatted weirdly and just does not seem intuitive or interesting to me.

I feel like I should like it for some reason, but I just don't.
